Bacon Jam is such a versatile and delicious spread and the addition of pineapple adds a pleasant richness to this savory jam. This bacon jam is perfect for burgers, and sandwiches, and is even delicious on its own!

My hubby has been obsessed with Bacon Jam from the moment he tried it at a local restaurant. So one day while I was making my BBQ Chicken sliders, he suggested that I add bacon jam to them. Since my I usually make a pineapple bbq sauce for my bbq chicken sliders, I decided instead to create a pineapple bacon jam to essentially get the best of both worlds!

We definitely love our fair share of bacon around here and pineapple was the perfect sweet addition to the already delicious bacon jam.

This pineapple bacon jam is perfect on burgers, chicken, and just about anything else that you can think of!

So without further ado, I’m excited to share this recipe with you guys!

Here’s what you need to make this Pineapple Bacon Jam:

• Crushed Pineapple (with juice)
• Brown Sugar
• Maple Syrup
• Garlic (chopped)
• Balsamic Vinegar
• Bacon (chopped)
• Onion (diced)

The process to make this pineapple bacon jam is fairly simple as it is essentially a one-skillet dish.

Once you have prepped your ingredients, grab a skillet and add in your chopped bacon and cook down until done but not super crispy. Next, drain your bacon, reserving at least 2tbsps of bacon grease, and set the bacon to the side.

Add the reserved bacon grease, onion, and garlic, and cook down until the onions start to soften. Once cooked down, add in brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup and continue to cook on medium/high heat until the brown sugar melts..

Next add in your crushed pineapples along with the juices, mixing periodically to avoid the mixture sticking to the pan.

Next, add the cooked bacon back into the mixture and cook for another 15-20 minutes. Once your bacon jam reaches a thick consistency, feel free to use it right away or allow the bacon jam to cool completely and place in an airtight container & store it in the fridge. I highly recommend using a glass container if possible, but no matter what container you use, make sure that it’s air-tight! When stored properly, this bacon jam can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 weeks – if it lasts that long.

Just like that, you have homemade, delicious pineapple bacon jam that is ready for you and your family to enjoy! The possibilities are truly endless!
